Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 220 m early on, comes down 18% for 300 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 7.2 km, climbs 18% for 300 m midway, comes down 13% for 220 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 7.2–8.9, from 164 m to 318 m.
